Keep distinct exact identifiers
Create a separate tag for 17 without changing the tag for 000017.
For operators
Read these instructions on any device. Watch or practise a chapter on a desktop or laptop, with a desktop or mobile application layout. Demonstrations use sample data and simulated scanners.
Keep distinct exact identifiers
- Make an informal observation tag
Make an informal observation tag.
This lesson uses a synthetic item. A reviewed tag records an observation only; it never holds stock, isolates equipment or grants approval.
- Keep the exact item code
Keep the exact item code.
Enter 000017. Scanning only fills the code; it creates no tag until you deliberately review the note.
- A repeated scan creates no extra tag
A repeated scan creates no extra tag.
Enter the same code again. You remain in the capture step; a repeated reading never creates a new tag.
- Describe what needs attention
Describe what needs attention.
Continue to the observation. The identifier remains exact, including its leading zeroes.
- Choose an observation reason
Choose an observation reason.
Review storage asks someone to look at the item; it is not a stock or safety decision.
- Record what you saw
Record what you saw.
Keep the note factual and clear. It is a local claim, not an authenticated audit.
- Add a readable description
Add a readable description.
The description helps someone read the tag; it never changes the exact captured identifier.
- Declare the observed location
Declare the observed location.
This location is the writer’s claim, not live inventory or proof of where the item is now.
- Create one reviewed tag
Create one reviewed tag.
The genuine domain code freezes revision 1. Review its exact identifier and wording before downloading.
- Start a separate tag
Start a separate tag.
A new tag requires another deliberate review. The first tag remains in the list.
- Keep 17 distinct from 000017
Keep 17 distinct from 000017.
The code 17 is separate exact text. The app never pads or merges it into the first item.
- Describe what needs attention
Describe what needs attention.
Continue to the observation. The identifier remains exact, including its leading zeroes.
- Create the distinct second tag
Create the distinct second tag.
Create a second reviewed tag deliberately. Both exact identifiers remain in the local list.
- View the first item again
View the first item again.
The first tag and its note remain in the same local project.
